Anybody read any good books lately?

I just finished Tom Clancy's Line of Control. Its about an American Covert ops team that gets stuck in Pakistan after an Islamic Leader starts a rebellion against the Indian Government. There only hope is to find a way out of Pakistan and to do so, they must rest thier fate on a double agent who could potential sell them out at any time. Its like all Tom Clancy novels, but if you like war books, then its def for you.


Oh, i just started reading The Next President by Joseph Flynn, and its not so bad thus far. Ill write a description when im through.

I'm on my second read-through of Deathly Hallows at the moment, which I think is a very good book. And I'm contemplating going for a run-through of the whole series from 1 to 7.

After that, I'm thinking of carrying on with Dante's A Divine Comedy. A very good poem, written in the early 1300s, about the author's trip through the 9 rings of Hell. It's inspired a lot of authors since, and has been the foundations for many a good book.

Actually, The Divine Comedy is divided up into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The entire book itself is about Dante's venture through all three places. "The Inferno" is just the most well-known one (that you have mentioned, but thus neglected the other two).

Meh. I only managed to get through two pages of the introduction before I put it down to read HP5 and 6 in anticipation for HP7.

See, I've only read the first 16 Cantos in the book, but I knew that even! But then I do research on stuff because I'm nerdy like that.

All I knew was that Garth Nix somehow based his Key to the Kingdom series on it, and that ADC dealt with the rings of hell.

I learned about The Divine Comedy because of Final Fantasy, oddly enough. Doing research from there led me to learn about the book itself and all that. Final Fantasy 4 has the most references to The Divine Comedy.
